I'm guessing it'll be like Ted Kennedy's 1980 convention speech: https://youtube.com/watch?v=2jDcPbSCluA

Probably more of his self-serving grandstanding with 1,000 Sanders signs waving on the delegate floor of the convention even during Hillary's acceptance speech.

Maybe he will send Larry David to do it.
Nobody will notice the difference.

It'll probably sound a lot like his Nevada concession speech, touching on the problems of the rigged economy, the evils of superpacs (and a corrupt campaign finance system), the hope of bringing justice to corrupt wall street execs, and the difficulties of taking on the establishment. Then ending by thanking contributors / supporters.

I'll bet you $1,000 it includes the following phrases:
- "and let me just be clear"
- "sick and tired of establishment politics and establishment economics"
- "climate change is REAL, and it is caused by Uman activity"
- "15 bucks an hour"

How can America call itself a Democracy when over 57% of the Democratic primary votes are held by just ONE candidate?

If Sanders speaks at the DNC, it wont be a 'concession speech'. I assume his concession speech would come sometime in early June, like Hillary's '18 million cracks in the glass ceiling' speech on June 8, 2008.  His speech then would be probably a modified version of his stump that removed anything seen as attacking Clinton.   I suspect if he gets a DNC speech, it would mostly focus on Republicans and how they are beholden to the special interests and the rich.

This all assumes he doesn't go down the scorched Earth and attempt at nuclear option route, because that route has no 'concession speech' per se.

I actually think he'll be quite gracious.
